Okay, me decided to put it up here today...I haven't edited it yet, so tell me if you see any mistakes. Here's Chapter 3!

Chapter 3: It Can't Be Real...
I smiled at the man before me. I knew who he was. I knew what he'd come for. He'd come for me. And my brother. His face was shadowed. I knew him and yet I did not.
"Hello, Angel," said the man with a grim smile, one that was filled with evil, "Where is that charming brother of yours?"
"Inside," I told him as I crouched to a fighting stance, "But you have to go through me first."
"Such a brave girl," he said to me, "Now watch yourself, I'm not going easy on you."
"I'll help you, Angel!" shouted a voice behind me.
"No!" I shouted, "Stand still! I will defeat the destroyer of my father for the last time!"
"Angel!" the boy scolded me.
"INSIDE!" I roared. He backed down and went inside like I'd told him.
"Oh, such a rare find," the evil chuckled, "I shall enjoy killing you." His hands found their way around an object of some sort. I soon noticed that it looked very much like a sword, only somehow different.
"Die, fiend!" I shouted as I raced forth, power resonating everywhere.
"I think not," he grinned and thrust the sword toward me so fast that I couldn't even see it. The sword plunged into my legs, sending a wave of pain through me. He yanked it out and plunged the sword into my other leg.
"And now, the finishing touch," He smirked as the sword came in slow motion toward my chest.
"AHHH!!!" I screamed as I sat up in my bed. I patted myself down and sighed as I found no sign of blood on my clammy sheets.
"Whoa," I said as I calmed down, "What was that all about?" Since my room was sound-proof, no one came running. I was all alone once again.
"Oh, hi, CG," I said as I picked up the mewing cat, "I'm sorry that I hurt your ears. I had a bad dream. You want to hear about it?" The cat's eyes seemed to glint with want and I decided to tell him.
"Well, I'm standing outside of a building of some sort," I said, "And there's a man in front of me. Myself in the dream knows exactly who this person was, but all I know is that he's evil. He says something like 'Where's that charming brother of yours?' but you already know I don't have a brother, don't you, CG? Anyways, a person comes out of the house. I don't know who he is, but he wants to help me defeat the evil guy. I say something like, 'No, I'm going to defeat the killer of my father myself, INSIDE!'. He listens and goes inside like I told him to. I turn to the evil guy and he's got a sword of some type in his hands. I feel all this power inside me. But...wait a second! You can't feel anything in a dream! Can you?" I looked at CG. I shrugged, "I felt a lot of pain in the end, that's for sure. He put the sword through both my legs and then he started to put it through my heart, and that's when I woke up. What do you think, kitty?" He meowed at me. "You know, you're a great listener. Just wish you could answer back."
"I can," The cat said. He SAID! He SPOKE actual WORDS! My eyes went wide and I fell off my bed. The cat had his paws clamped over his mouth, but it was too late.
"A talking cat," I said, my voice shaking with my body, "No way. There's just no way!" There was silence in the room until a silver thing on the side of his collar spoke.
"Way to go, genius!" shouted a voice, "Why don't you just go on ahead and tell her now?!"
"Aw, put a sock in it, Mom," the cat said and switched off the communicator. My mouth flew open.
"No way," I said, "There's just no way. Did I just wake up inside another dream?" I shivered at the cold that was going up and down my spine. Somehow, I knew that this was no dream.
"No, I'm afraid not, Miss Angel," the cat said sternly.
"So..." I began, trying to make conversation with the ONLY talking cat I'd ever met, "How can you talk?"
"I'm not really a cat, for one," he said grimly, "My mother decided it was the best way to find my way into the White House."
"She was right," I said, "If your were anything but an animal of some sort, you'd have to have very special clearance to get in here. So, why did you want in here in the first place?"
"Kind of hard to explain," He said, just as grimly. He brought out his little communications thingy and spoke into it, "Can I get out of this body now, Mom? It'd make things a lot easier."
"Ah, it was fun seeing you as a cat, Trunks," said the voice from earlier.
"Wait a second," I said, "The Trunks? Like, DBZ Trunks?" My mouth was wider and my eyes were dinner plates. How could this be possible?
"Yep, that's me," he said as a light washed over him. I stared as he morphed from the cat to his human self. A real version of himself, lavender hair and all.
"No way, no way, no way, no way a billion times!" I squeaked pitifully. "Y-You...cartoon...a ji ba ja con bie..." My words turned into baffled nonsense as I made wild gestures with my hands, confusing myself further.
"Whoa, whoa, slow down, girl," he laughed at me and I instantly snapped my mouth shut. My whole face turned bright red as he took my shoulders and shook me gently. "It's okay to be scared, really it is. I'd be scared too if someone from a different dimension had suddenly appeared in the body of a cat." He smiled at me and I returned it weakly. "Where should I begin?"
"I don't know," I said, "How about what's going on?"
"Well, let me start up a while ago," Trunks said, "When Bardock, Goku's father, died, he was able to keep his body in the afterlife."
"I know that," I grunted pitifully.
"Right," he said and smiled. I don't know why, but that smile was getting to me a lot more than I would have liked. "Anyway, he found a person among the others and, well...impregnated her. The Supreme Kai decided that it was best the child be sent to live with the remainder of half her species and the others of the other half, I guess. But, uh...there was a mistake and she was sent to the wrong dimension. We've searched long and hard for Goku's little half sister and we finally pinpointed her."
I stared at him. "You mean I-I'm-" I couldn't finish as a lump formed in my throat.
"You're the reincarnated half-sister of Goku," he nodded, "And indeed half-saiyan and half-human." I stared at him still. He shifted on my bed uncomfortably. His purple locks seemed to spread out over his gentle face. I'd always had a crush on him, but it never seemed possible that he would ever meet me at all.
"It's true, isn't it?" I asked, "I'm really half-saiyan?" Would Trunks Vegeta Briefs lie like that? I mean, why would he come to my dimension in the first place? That's when I remembered.
"But what about Kat and Ron?" I asked, worried, "They are family to me. And what about my parents here?" He looked shocked for a moment before answering.
"Kat and Ron, yes, I can see them," he said, "But how your half-parents? They never really showed that they care for you. Even my dad shows that he cares about me in more ways than they have."
"Yeah," I said, "They care more about their jobs than anything else. And they're good at it." I sighed, "But I just can't see leaving my two best friends behind."
"We could bring them along," he said with a grin, "It's a great possibility." I beamed at this. My mind was clouded by my joy and I threw my arms around Trunks and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you!" I said into his ear as I drew back. He didn't seem to mind, even as I blushed at my unthinkable move.
"We've got to leave tonight," he told me.
"Okay," I said, nodding slowly, "Let me call them." I reached for the phone and picked it up quickly. "Kat!" I said as soon as I reached her, "Pack up some clothes and get over here as fast as you can!"
"Okay," she said, "See you in five." She hung up. Ron was easy, considering that his room was right next to mine. All I had to do was use the intercom. They were both in the room and knew everything in the matter of ten minutes.
"The First Kid's got a lot of power, I see," Trunks smiled at me. I blushed again and wondered how many more times it would happen. He brought out his communications device(still hanging around his neck) and told Bulma to transport us.
"You know," Ron said thoughtfully, "You made a great cat for a while there." Kat's eyes were still slightly round in surprise.
"I want to see his cat form," Kat sniffed, "It's not fair." She gave Trunks a pair of puppy-dog eyes.
"No way!" Trunks shook his head furiously, "That body's embarrassing!" Kat dropped her pose and immediately a light washed over me. I waved at my friends, not knowing it was the last time I'd see them.
"Okay, you two," Trunks said as soon as Angel was gone, "I can't bring you along, but we really need some cover here."
"I understand," Ron smiled at him, "Your mother sent a call ahead for both of us. Go on, Trunks, teach our Angel some new tricks." Trunks smiled at them and gave Kat a hug of support. She was crying.
"Take good care of my friend, Trunks Briefs, or you'll be hearing from me!" Kat reprimanded then smiled as she said, "See you later, Pookie!" Trunks cocked his eyebrow at this, but didn't have time to question her statement as he disappeared.
"Watch the new shows for her!" Trunks shouted as he waved.
"What have we done?" Kat asked, "We just helped her run away!"
"No," Ron sighed deeply, "We just helped her return to the right family."
